Many thanks.
It definitely make sense to vectorize for performance. In this case the 
reason I want to keep the dimensions is that I only want to generate code 
for the body of the loops, and create the looping separately. I feel that 
gives more flexibility in handling boundary conditions, and I want to 
retain some of the structure of the problem in the code as well.
Thanks for the pointer to the PR, tensor stuff is always exciting!
Cheers,
